Lithium-based polyanion oxide cathodes

Nature Energy volume 6, pages 844–845 (2021)Cite this article

Subjects

Polyanion oxide cathodes offer better thermal stability and safety than transition-metal oxide cathodes, and their cell voltages are also higher than those of the oxide analogues with the same redox couple. Lithium iron phosphate is the first commercialized polyanion cathode for lithium-ion batteries.
